Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Is the Taoist Sect Association Still Around?
Lu Ran nodded approvingly.
Cen Yunuo’s gaze was somewhat dazed at this moment; she roughly understood Lu Ran’s meaning.
But…
She turned her head and looked around at the crowd.
Hesitantly she said, “But in that case, apart from the Celestial Dragon Sect, everyone here will also die.”
Lu Ran shrugged.
He said, “The decision is yours, and, I actually have another idea.”
Hmm?
Cen Yunuo was startled and asked, “What do you mean?”
Lu Ran said, “I actually don’t care about the lives and deaths of these people. I don’t think I’m a cold-blooded animal, nor do I lack reverence for Life, but if I were an orthodox disciple of the Taoist Sect, these people have completely betrayed the Taoist Sect, and I definitely wouldn’t care about their lives and deaths, but you are different.”
Cen Yunuo listened in a daze.
“Your master gave me this task probably not just to make Buddhism disappear from this world, or rather, from Longxia. The rise of the Taoist Sect is the key, but if there are no followers, what is the point of the Taoist Sect developing well? That goes against the Taoist Sect’s ideals, so you can actually give these people a chance to choose.” Lu Ran said.
Cen Yunuo seemed to understand part of Lu Ran’s meaning.
She hesitated for a few seconds.
She said, “Of course I can give them a chance to choose, but given the current situation, do you think as a spokesperson for the Taoist Sect, I have any use? No one will listen to me.”
“Yes, the choice is given to them; how to choose is up to them. You cannot choose for them, and they must pay the price for their own choice.” Lu Ran nodded and said.
Uh…
Cen Yunuo said helplessly, “Isn’t that still them having to die? Anyone with clear eyes can see how they would choose.”
But Lu Ran shook his head.
He said, “Not necessarily, you must know when a person is between life and death, even if only to cope, they will choose to side with the stronger side.”
That would be forcing them to make a choice.
But Cen Yunuo did not seem to plan on doing so.
Because eradicating Buddhism, making them choose the Taoist Sect under duress,
That is not sincere.
By this time, Cen Yunuo had already lost her faith in these people.
At this time.
Cheng Maixiang suddenly interjected from the other side of Lu Ran, “What are you two mumbling about, Taoist Sect? Are you followers of the Taoist Sect?”
This wasn’t surprising.
Lu Ran and Cen Yunuo came to the Celestial Dragon Sect because they had entangled issues with it.
Bringing Cheng Maixiang was also because they needed to help her reclaim her money conveniently.
So since they weren’t Buddhist believers, they could be followers of the Taoist Sect.
“Sort of, but now not many people know about the Taoist Sect anymore, right? The Taoist Sect has been completely abandoned by people.” Cen Yunuo said ambiguously.
Speaking of this.
Cen Yunuo couldn’t help but feel wistful herself.
“Not really, there are still quite a few followers of the Taoist Sect.” Cheng Maixiang said.
Oh?
“Where?” Cen Yunuo asked.
You could sense the urgency in Cen Yunuo’s heart, her tone carrying a faint hope.
Even though Cen Yunuo had completely lost her trust in these people.
However, if there were indeed still followers of the Taoist Sect, it would be an absolute comfort to her!
“There’s one in Jingzhou City, I’ve seen it before, the Taoist Sect Association people, but the people from Buddhism keep suppressing them; they even have to be driven out of their office; they’re not doing well.” Cheng Maixiang said.
According to Cheng Maixiang’s explanation.
After realizing she was deceived by Buddhism, she awakened and went to the Celestial Dragon Sect several times to get a refund.
But to no avail in defending her rights.
After learning about the existence of the Taoist Sect Association.
And upon understanding, she discovered that the seemingly down-and-out Taoist Sect was genuinely dedicated to the common folk.
Cheng Maixiang had thought about joining the Taoist Sect.
“But I was once a believer of Buddhism, got deceived, and then turned to the Taoist Sect for refuge; this isn’t good.” Cheng Maixiang shook her head and said.
In other words, she was a little embarrassed.
That was akin to shamelessly going to seek protection from the Taoist Sect.
Buddhism couldn’t resolve it and deceived you, not even getting your money back, turning to the Taoist Sect.
It’s just like being a backup plan.
“So, in Jingzhou City, there is still the presence of the Taoist Sect Association?” Cen Yunuo asked in surprise.
“You know the Taoist Sect Association?” Lu Ran asked in surprise.
“Yes, the Taoist Sect Association is spread in various cities, but that was in the past, and even back then, the situation of the Taoist Sect Association was very miserable. Most of them were organized by people from the various Taoist factions, being suppressed by Buddhism was a normal thing, after leaving, I originally thought the Taoist Sect Association in various places was already extinct, but I didn’t expect it to still exist.” Cen Yunuo said.
If that’s the case.
Then Monster Siege cannot be easily launched.
Because once launched, Monster Siege enters Jingzhou City, then everyone is equal and treated the same.
Everyone will die!
Whether or not these people are given a chance to choose, their life and death don’t matter.
But the Taoist Sect Association is in Jingzhou City, they definitely cannot die foolishly along with these people!
The Taoist Sect and Buddhism are different.
Buddhism treats its followers as disposable, the more followers, the more they earn.
The Taoist Sect treasures its followers excessively.
They are absolutely their own people!
“What do we do now? Do we want to find the Taoist Sect Association?” Lu Ran asked.
He surely understood Cen Yunuo’s thoughts.
As long as all the people of the Taoist Sect Association are found.
And protected.
Then the Monster Siege can be launched without any concern after that.
“Where is the Taoist Sect Association?” Cen Yunuo firmly nodded, then asked Cheng Maixiang.
“It is quite far from here, in the outskirts. Originally, they had an office building in the city, but later the land was acquired by the Celestial Dragon Group, and they were also evicted. Now they rent an apartment in the urban village on the outskirts.” Cheng Maixiang said.
It really is…
Quite tragic.
Cen Yunuo looked at the crowded people around.
Just as she was about to speak to Lu Ran about going to the outskirts to find the Taoist Sect Association.
Suddenly, there was a commotion behind her.
The monk on the stage also stopped speaking.
Behind.
The crowd was parted as a large group of people forcefully squeezed in.
Cen Yunuo looked back.
With a strange look on her face, she said, “Fire Virtue Sect’s people, judging by the marks on them, it should be the Taoist Sect Association of Jingzhou City.”
Oh?
Lu Ran’s eyes lit up.
Speak of the devil, and he shall appear!
They just saved the trip to the outskirts to find them.
To be honest, Lu Ran himself didn’t mind the journey; he could reach the outskirts in a second.
But he was mainly considering Cen Yunuo.
At this moment.
The people of the Taoist Sect Association also squeezed into the center of the field.
The leading Daoist, although wearing a Taoist Robe, looked very rugged, with a bushy beard and thick eyebrows.
“This Fire Virtue Sect Daoist looks very explosive.” Lu Ran murmured to himself.
He looked less like a Daoist and more like a rough blacksmith.
“Indeed, the Fire Virtue Sect doesn’t worship The Three Pristine Ones, but the Fire Virtue True Monarch. Due to the fire Tao skill, their personality and appearance might indeed be somewhat affected.” Cen Yunuo chuckled and introduced.
